    I've been bingewatching your first videos all weekend while cleaning the house. You're such a great youtuber already!!! Great garlic selection. Posh bag too 😂🤔 I'll look into the garlic feed. Not sure if mines ran out.. great reminder. Thanks Dora!.

    There is definitely a sweet spot for harvesting the tree spinach seed heads. Ah no, now I'm tempted by harlequin squash too!! 😂 Well done on the garlic 👍

    Lovely video, as usual Dora. That harlequin squash was blooming gorgeous! So pretty. I might need to add it to the list. Have you tried it yet?
    Lovely garlic haul. I’m growing Provence Wight too (and caulk wight) from last year’s saved seed. Lovely garlic.
    Didn’t know there was specific garlic feed. Thanks for that.
    The butternut squash was insanely huge! Well done ❤❤

      Thank you Clare! 🥰
      Oh isn't it pretty... I think you should 😋 I only had the two squashes from the whole plant but they're gorgeous. Not yet, they're a 'display' at the moment in the kitchen.
      Ooh look forward to seeing your garlic too!
      The butternut squash is now a soup (thanks to Mother!) and I'm wondering whether I should plant more next year... hmm decisions!

    Looking Very Autumnal Dora I didn't realise there were different types of garlic I'm so looking forward to my crop. I have Harvested some of my late potatoes there were quite abundant also had to harvest my last tomatoes (although still green ) but i had nearly 5Kg ! Kohl rabi is coming along well and enjoying shaping the plot to how i want it! keep posting another very enjoyable video 😃

    Great update Dora , I love Garlic from The Garlic Farm, I've only ever grown theirs and over the last 2 or 3 years I've replanted what I've grown , I would definitely recommend the fertilizer I think it's great and definitely notice a difference , will be interesting to see how you go with yours xx

      @doras.allotment  2 місяці тому +1

    Mullein is great. it flowers fromthe bottom upward if memory serves. We had one in our border this year. the buzzies liked it and so do moths.

    Verbascum thapsus - mullein - the flower growing on the edge of your bed, I think. They are super cool, I've collected some seeds. They grow in the wild here (in Oslo) as well, in dry and sunny areas.
    Great work, and thanks for the reminder on fertilizing garlic. It seems like such a plant and forget sort of crop.

    • @doras.allotment
      @doras.allotment  2 місяці тому +1

      Lovely, thank you for confirming the flower! I think I'll need to take the one out and leave just the one on the edge because of the size. It is indeed, I'm really hoping to have a good harvest next year 🤞🏻 hope you have lots of garlic too! 🧄

    Definitely looking autumnal now Dora, we are cloudy and the rains have finally let up for now. I still haven’t decided on garlic 🧄, but I better hurry up or they won’t be any. Hey one butternut is better than none, there are green recipes online too. Garlic looks fab. Hope your feeling better, Ali ☔️☔️🇨🇦

    What a lovely garlic package, never mind the garlic that bag is so nice 👍 I would use it for my shopping too, far too nice to get dirty at the allotment 😂
    Lovely garlic selection, bit like an early Xmas pressie to yourself. 😊
    Mullein looks fab, I think I'll order some seeds to plant in my flower beds to attract the pollinators of course.🤭😂
    Nice sunflowers 🌻 🌻 🌻 did you take any photos? I've been putting some on my website and can include in my video too if you want with a link to your channel?

      Thank you Linda! Hahah I totally agree, it's a great bag and has already had a few outings. It was certainly a birthday present to myself 🧄🧄 I'm really hoping I have lots of garlic next year 🤞🏻
      I have a feeling that once you've grown the Mullein once you won't need to sow it again, it must be quite promiscious 🤣
      I do have some photos of the sunflowers, I'll have to send you some, thank you that's very sweet ☺️

    Another fab video. I got mine in but am worried they are gonna rot with all the rain we are having... I'm tempted to pull up and put in the tunnel instead... your doggo is so well behaved mines a right menace 😂 I haven't taken him to plot yet as worried he's gonna terrorise everyone.

      Thank you Lisa, pleased you're still enjoying the videos! Does your plot flood? I'd be tempted to leave them be as they are pretty resilient - saying that I have planted some in tubs today at home as a back up! Hahah looks can be deceiving he can also be a big menace! However, he's getting used to the plot and his boundaries now and spends most of the time following me around... and stealing my tools 🤣 Have a lovely week!
